Universal Door Foundation (美音基金會)
Identity Snapshot
- English: Universal Door Foundation
- Chinese: 美音基金會
- Era: Contemporary
- Geography: Taiwanese American community
- Core roles: Community organization (TAH directory)
The Universal Door Foundation was cofounded to bridge cultural and generational gaps in art between East and West and between young and old. The organization supports musicians financially and hosts community concerts to promote works that integrate Taiwanese folk music with modern genres such as jazz and classical. In 2013, the foundation funded and hosted the Formosan American Concert, which drew over five hundred attendees. The organization was also planning a follow-up concert in spring 2014.
Role in the Community
The foundation’s flagship event is on the community record: the Formosan American Concert (台美音樂家之夜) was held in El Monte, CA on June 1, 2013, drawing over five hundred attendees (2013). The foundation itself is documented in the TAH story corpus (16. Universal Door Foundation 美音基金會), which places its activity record alongside the scholarship and foundation records of the Taiwanese American community. Its stated mission — supporting musicians and promoting works that integrate Taiwanese folk music with jazz and classical genres — frames the 2013 concert and the planned (per the directory) spring 2014 follow-up.
